CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: If any adjustments are made to
the engine while the engine is running
(e.g. carburetor), disengage all clutches
and blades. Keep clear of all moving parts.
Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler.
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude and load. To adjust the carburetor, refer to the
separate engine manual packed with your unit.
NOTE: A dirty air cleaner will cause an engine to run
rough. Be certain air cleaner is clean and attached to
the carburetor before adjusting carburetor.
STEERING GEARS
Lubricate teeth of steering gears with automotive multi¬
purpose grease after every 25 hours of operation or
once a season.
STEERING SHAFT
Lubricate steering shaft at least once a season with light
oil.
VARIABLE SPEED PULLEY
Lubricate needle bearings inside the variable speed
pulley with light oil once a season. Also lubricate the
bearings inside the pulley by putting a small amount
of light oil on the shaft. Then start the tractor, and with
the shift lever in neutral, move the speed selector for¬
ward and backward which will move the center sheave
and distribute the oil on the shaft. Be careful not to get
oil on the sheaves of the pulleys or on the belts, which
could cause the belts to slip.
